Future of the Tyrolean labor market: strategies against a shortage of skilled workers!

The Tyrolean labor market faces major challenges, while the Labor Market Promotion Society (AMG-Tirol) plays an important role in coping with these difficult times. Since 2005, the AMG-Tirol has been a central coordination center that networked and supports a wide variety of actors in the Tyrolean labor market and employment policy. In the past 20 years, the company has helped develop career perspectives through numerous projects and initiatives, including the elementary pedagogy in Tyrol, to develop more than 2,400 people. "Challenging times often lead to volatile labor markets," emphasizes the Labor Councilor Astrid Mair, who emphasizes the importance of this institution for the Tyrolean economy, especially in times of increasing unemployment, as can currently be observed in tourism and retail, how tirol.gv.at reported.

The effects of the corona crisis are devastating for the labor market in Tyrol. According to the current labor market atlas, there is a worrying increase in unemployment by 145.4 percent compared to the previous year, which means over 38,000 people. The accommodation and gastronomy that were hit hard in the winter season are particularly affected. "Such a crisis hits a strong tourism location particularly hard," says Governor Günther Platter and describes the complex relationships between the restrictions and the considerable economic consequences. In addition, the vacancies were reduced by over half compared to the previous year, which further increases the uncertainty on the labor market, as well as the comprehensive support measures of the Tyrolean state government.

The AMG-Tirol develops tailor-made projects to support the workers concerned, in particular through free advisory services. This plays a crucial role in the orientation and qualification of people who are faced with special challenges through the crisis situation. With the aim that people in Tyrol have a solid basis for their livelihood even in difficult times, the AMG-Tirol remains an indispensable partner for employees in the region, reports meindezirk.at .
